Helga Zepp-LaRouche points out that the Irish voters’ rejection of the new European
Union Treaty (Lisbon Treaty), which was to transform Europe into an oligarchical and
imperial dictatorship, now cannot go into effect as planned on Jan. 1, 2009. This
gives Europe’s nations an excellent opportunity to extricate themselves from the corset
of every EU treaty already in effect, and to opt instead for a system of Europe-wide
cooperation of sovereign republics, in the spirit of Charles de Gaulle.

Feature

Lyndon LaRouche warns people who are depressed because Hillary Clinton was forced
to withdraw her candidacy for the Democratic Presidential nomination, that they are
wrong. He notes that her retirement is not the end, but only the beginning of the
real contest yet to be fought. People make this error of judgment because of their
failure to understand the way in which real history works. By understanding how history
actually works, the same depressed people would be able to see that “Hillary might
still become President!”

Economics

In response to what is actually a full-fledged systemic financial crisis centered
in the big banks, the major central banks of the Anglo-Dutch Liberal system have issued
$3.5 trillion in loans to the banking system, much of it in exchange for worthless
collateral, thus taking some of the worthless paper off the banks’ books. But, as
LaRouche warned, this bailout program is spreading hyperinflation.

Interviewed on a radio program from Ghana, which covers both Africa and the Caribbean,
Helga Zepp-LaRouche attacked free-trade liberalism as responsible for the world food
crisis, by lowering production, and raising prices because of speculation.

National

Soros, a sociopath who asserts that morality has no place in the market, along with
a gang of fellow billionaires has, over the past eight years, has come pretty close
to achieving his goal of taking over the Democratic Party.

International

The apostles of the EU as Empire intend to make it the arbiter of relations in East
Central Europe, eclipsing the United Nations. The result is an aggravation of tensions
that threatens to pull Russia’s southwest border areas into a general escalation of
warfare across Eurasia.
